peanutbutterIf you are a fan of peanut butter & chocolate like I am – you might want to check out Ashley’s recipe for Peanut Butter Fudge Pie. The recipe is very easy and only takes about 22 minutes to prep AND cook! Then just put it in the fridge and let it chill for at least an hour or until you are ready for a decadent dessert.

Garnish with a drizzle of hot fudge ice cream topping to make the dessert pretty enough for company. Plus we have a price cut on Smucker’s Ice Cream Toppings for as low as $1.70 thru 6/14. If you got the $1 off Smucker’s ice cream topping Target coupon Sweet Summer Savings Booklet x7/26, you can stack it with the $1/1 Smucker’s Topping 5-11-14 RP x6/8 to pick the hot fudge up for as low as FREE! You can check out the recipe with instructions and more photos on Ashley’s post HERE.

Showing Cashier Appreciation with Comment Cards

Odds & Ends, Target News & Notes
22 Comments

I brought home 2 Target comment cards with me on Sunday to fill out and it reminded me that I have not posted this in a while, so I thought I would post again.

We couponers sometimes have to have a thick skin since some cashiers can leave us feeling sub-human for using our coupons. So if you are anything like me – having a great cashier that is friendly, and super-patient with your coupons can leave you wanting to give them a hug or go home and bake them a batch of cookies. 🙂

But to show your gratitude, one of the best things you can do is fill out a comment card. Many retailers don’t allow any kind of gifts or other shows of appreciation, but a comment card is something you can do at Target, and it won’t get anyone in any trouble.

If you are unfamiliar with them- they can be found at Guest Services and they are also kept up at the registers in many stores. If you are happy with the service you get, think about taking a moment to fill out one of these cards to show your appreciation. I am very thankful for Target employees who take the time to try and understand coupons and how they can be used as opposed to those who loathe them and make you well aware that they are hating every moment you are in line.

So if you’d like to offer up more than just a simple “Thank You” when you are done checking out- grab one of these cards and give a great review of your cashier.  You can either hand it in at the store- or drop it in the mail and they are sure to be grateful for the positive comments!

chocolate peanut butter cup in a glass on a table
Here’s a recipe sure to satisfy any sweet tooth! Basically it is a decadent chocolate peanut butter pie layered in a glass. It’s so pretty to look at too – so perfect for impressing guests.

The recipe can be made pretty quickly so that the only wait time is while it sets up and chills in the fridge. Garnished with a little whipped topping and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, this dessert is sure to be a hit!

It’s such a great alternative to a traditional looking pie, making it fancy and looking like it took a lot more effort than it actually does!

You can check out all the instructions to make this fabulous chocolate peanut butter pie on Michelle’s post HERE.

Check Offers with Target Cartwheel’s Barcode Scanner

FAQs & Basics

Chrissy let me know about a cool feature available on the latest version of Target’s Cartwheel App. Now you can check whether a Cartwheel offer matches an item before you get up to the checkout lane using the app’s barcode scanner. Cartwheel has made this available on both iPhone and Android smartphones too.

cartwheel-barcodeYou will need to have the latest update to Cartwheel to use this feature, Version 1.4.1. To find this feature on Cartwheel, just sign in and the main menu will come up. At the top of the screen, you’ll see the search box with a barcode icon to the right. When you’re ready to scan an item, just tap on this icon and then line the camera up with the barcode of the item. If there is a match, Cartwheel will bring up the offer for you to add. 🙂 That’s it! Your smartphone or device must have a camera to use this feature.

You can use this feature to scan items as you shop using Target’s FREE WiFi connection. Although my shopping trips are usually very-well planned- I think this is great for last-minute finds at the store and a big help and a time saver in my book! It’s also a way to check for cartwheels on spur of the moment clearance finds. Many cartwheels do exclude clearance- but quite a few do not- so this is an easy way to check!

If you do not yet have the Cartwheel App, you can go HERE to download for Android devices and go HERE for the iPhone, iPad and other Apple devices.

NOT FAMILIAR WITH TARGET CARTWHEEL? This savings program introduced by Target allows you to save even more when shopping in-store. Even better- these offers can be used with Target Coupons AND Manufacturer coupons for up to a triple stack! You can see my post HERE to help get you started.

–Thank you Chrissy for the heads up on this nifty little time saver!
